I was in the area on Saturday and took a look at the places around. Noticed this bakery so I came in to check out what they have and hopefully grab a few things that I don't see regularly. The selection was pretty sparse and it was only 11 something in the morning. Another customer was asking about some mochi bun and the response from the woman he spoke to made it seem like they only restock once in the morning. So it's a you snooze you lose type of situation. I picked up a pineapple bun and 2 different red bean baked goods. They looked different than what I see at other Chinese bakeries. Got home and got into these. Man they definitely look better than they taste. Not really sure what the pineapple bun tasted like, but the topping on it was not good. The red bean buns were quite flavorless. The bread texturally was not good. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

Great coffee, good desserts, good customer service. I'd highly suggest their iced coffee and breakfast pastries although I'd like to try their desserts sometime though to have a more solid opinion. read more

Mugi - a cup of iced coffee on a table - Bakeries Near Me - Flushing, New York

I visited Mugi recently while with a client who crowned this her "favorite Japanese bakery". She loves the Passion Fruit Tea, so we stopped in. I was shocked to see that the Scallion buns I was in search of at the local Chinese bakeries were in full stock here for $1.50. I purchased two that were light as a croissant, buttery and filled with scallions. Very good buns. This place is very modern and swanky. They have a nice assortment of beautiful cakes and pastries. They sell different kinds of iced teas and coffee here if you'd like to plan for a coffee date or meet up. Seating is extremely scarce, so it's preferable to grab what you need and then leave for home. read more

Everything looks good, but taste is a completely different story. This is a good spot to grab some bread or cake and go. I wouldn't suggest wasting your money for a birthday cake of any sort. I've tried their cakes and macarons, but the flavor and texture aren't as good as the other bakeries in the area and they are also pricier here. There also are not many seats and you are likely to get smacked into by the rush of people that come in and out. I would suggest buying from here and eating it at a park or across the street at the library. Staff were stingy when I asked for napkins and a utensil to eat the cake. read more

Mugi is my favorite bakery!! The cakes and pastries are always so delicious and fresh. I highly recommend!

Ever since it opened i wanted to give it a try but never did until recently cause i got super hungry and i was doing rounds. This bakery is deff different from the bakeries around Flushing.This one was different from the chinese bakeries and the korean ones. This bakery I feel are more for younger people since there were lots of cupcakes and cakes (and buns but sweet ones) The buns are different of course. I've tried the mochi bun and another time the chocolate custard bun. BOTH were yummy as heck. The mochi bun wasn't sweet which I thought was great and in the center of the bun inside it had a mochi. It was so cool , overall the bun wasn't plain but it wasn't overly sweet. I liked it anyways. I felt it was unique and i like mochi and it was great. The chocolate custard was interesting as well. It was sort of like a dessert kinda bun not your breakfast bun. I thought it was more like a snack bun when i was eating it. I'm not saying it's bad. It not super sweet either its a really good bun with chocolate custard! yummmm Another time I had their oreo cheesecake and it was amazing!! it was soft and smooth. But I also got the mango mousse and I was disappointed. There was mango taste but It doesn't taste natural. Also the texture of the mousse was weird, it was like jelly ish texture. I couldn't even finish it ...I didn't want to. The place also had cupcakes and macaroons! The displays of cakes and everything was really nice. Idk I only had one disappointing thing so the place seems good enough for now. But I kind of want to try their cupcakes but i wonder if it's anything special or it's just well.... a cupcake. You know? The people that works there are ehh(uninterested, unfriendly, the works...)....I didn't ask their help but the way they acted and such when i paid for my buns/cakes. I just didn't like it. They didn't act friendly whatsoever and didn't even smile. Pffft...they prolly don't like their job. That's what I got to say about them!! read more

I always go here for egg tarts and quick on-the-go pastries. The cakes aren't unhealthy because of the less sugar and fat. Everything is balanced and I have tried at least half of the store! I love the pastries a lot and will keep coming back. read more

I asked for a cup of coffee with 2 equals and next I noticed the lady making my coffee has her hand in the cup taking something out and proceeds to add water to the same cup and that's when I had to stop her and tell her I don't want that cup. I had to tell her that putting her bare hands with no gloves on my cup was disgusting. She apologized and grabbed a new cup. I will not be going back there. Makes me wonder if you do that in front of the customer, what do you do behind the walls. read more

Terrible customer service ever. I would like to give a minus score if I could. My stuff was accidentally kicked under the fridge by another customer. When asking the staff for help, the cashier told me to go to whoever did it, they are not responsible for taking the thing out. And she called another staff to hand over a broom to me and told her to let me do it myself. Then ignored me the whole time. read more

Very good bakery Good customer service Fast service Traditional small cakes Small fish sandwiches Great coffee read more

Cake is good, very cheap and stingy on the extras, or should I say no extras. Did give the cutting knife with the cake and ONE candle. Too cheap to give more candles what the heck. No forks and plates too as most other places gives. There's better options in the neighborhood for a birthday cake. read more

I came here with my family for some Asian inspired dessert and man was it amazing! It was a pretty small bakery so don't expect a lot of seating. I ordered the green tea and mango cake it was so good! It was sweet and it hit the spot! It cost $4 but it was worth it. This bakery is CASH ONLYYYYYYYY!!!!! Annoying I know but it is still amazing. My sister and father shared the strawberry shortcake and they enjoyed it because it was not too sweet. It just hit the spot! I highly recommend this place for a nice sweet treat! read more

Not the most convenient location as it's in the heart of traffic central and I had to knock off stars because they didn't have the bubble tea that was on their menu. They do have a decent selection of cakes with some interesting flavors. One flavor I went to go try in particular was their raspberry white chocolate cake. Definitely a bite into diabetes heaven but worth the cheat day to cure my blahs of feeling sickish. Loved how the tartness of the raspberry complimented the sweetness of the whipped cream and the piece of macaron was to die for. I also really enjoyed the piece of white chocolate and strawberry on top. The cake was also nice and spongey and loved how they had a layer of yellow sponge and chocolate sponge. It was kind of sad they didn't have the bubble tea the boyfriend wanted but I got him an eclair which he hasn't tried yet but I know must be just as good as my cake slice was. Will definitely consider giving this place another chance and trying that tiramisu slice next time. read more

Ordered the Japanese Cheesecake. It had a beautiful look. However, the cheese concentrate was too little... I think they should make the cheese concentrate a little bit stronger read more

Mugi - Japanese Cheesecake - Bakeries Near Me - Flushing, New York

We don't live in NYC, but every time we visited in the past 5 years we make a stop at this store. The cakes have our favorite balance of soft and airiness without being too sweet. We love the roll cakes too! read more

I come to this bakery once in a while because of the variety. The quality of the breads are good however the service is the reason for the 2 stars. With all the bakeries in the Flushing area I can go elsewhere for better service. I didn't realize my friend had placed an order for a large size cup of coffee for me so when I told them I wanted a small the reaction was unprofessional. Maybe they had a bad day but there are ways to handle it in a better manner. read more

Good and fast customer service Great buns and cake(try their Japanese cheesecake and roll cakes) Despite COVID, they're still open, selling fresh and prepackaged buns bagged as soon as the buns are cooled. Price is pretty good for the quality, not sure why the other cheapskates are complaining. read more

It's okay here. It's definitely pretty when you walk in, but it's small. When you walk in you sorta get the feeling of when you walk into Paris Baguette, just with less people. Of course, the pastries are very appealing, and it makes you just want to buy it and eat it. It's a little cheaper than Paris Baguette and it doesn't taste as good (you get what you pay for) and it's not as fresh as the ones that they serve in Paris Baguette. I bought a strawberry croissant with chocolate syrup for $2 there, and it tasted good but not as fresh. The strawberries were a little sour. It's just a good place to go when you're on the run and you need something to munch on :-) read more

Mugi - strawberry croissant with chocolate syrup :) - Bakeries Near Me - Flushing, New York

Excellent customer service, super nice and friendly. The transaction was smooth and quick. Delicious food.

get the polo bun here! it's really good, probably one of the best in flushing. Everything else is just okay, I'd come back all the time just to get their polo buns! Service is great too, they're really nice here. read more

The shop looks modern and trendy. I love the colors and decor. It's clean and not expensive at all. The green tea and mango cake is terrific. Their cakes are so light and fluffy; other cakes elsewhere weigh a ton and too filling from one bite. A lot of the cakes have real ingredients; fruit a-plenty! nuts a-plenty! They have traditional bakery treats like red velvet, strawberry shortcake, chocolate mousse. They also have ethnic flavors, which I enjoy sampling from time to time. They offer samples of different stuff on their menu, so every now and then my palatte finds a new gem. And it's not too sweet or sugary! Highly recommended! read more

best bakery specially the moci bread,only mugi they have it but their prices are very expensive compare to other bakery. And they have very bad coffee or milk tea too....but recommend read more

Terrible food. Even worse staff. My experience: Customers had touched the food with their hands, without any wrapper, and the staff refused to remove any of the product. Staff is incredibly rude and unprofessional. Especially the male behind the counter. They have a bad attitude and refused to exchange a product that I indicated had mold on it. STAY AWAY. Better options are Fay Da, which is right next door and more appropriately priced. Food is also of a much higher caliber and the staff are actually nice to you. Other alternatives are Paris Baguette, Taipei Bakery, Tous Les Jours. read more

This place is OK. not the best and not the worst. Its within walking distance from my house which is a plus but it's not something to rant and rave about. The girls there are nice but do not seem to know much about items that are being served. They tried to tell me that tiramisu was plain chocolate cake which I KNOW its not. I also asked if they had pork buns, for my guy who loves them. They gave me one (I had no clue if it really was one because I don't eat them). When I got it home to my guy, he tried it and said it wasn't pork. It was fish and it was spoiled. Major thumbs down! The pumpkin cheesecake was ok. Tasted too much like canned pumpkin. The red velvet and the marble cheesecake was good so in my book that is what saved them. Don't ask for help ordering cause the girls do not know much about the products. I'm assuming this is because it is not baked in the premises. But if you know what you are looking for or are feeling daring, come here. read more

So delicious, you must try. I've had almost all the cakes and they were all so delicious and fancy, almost too pretty to eat read more

Mugi - Pretty cake - Bakeries Near Me - Flushing, New York

I tried their strawberry mousse cake, tiramisu cake, and flan. What I like about this place is that it has their own unique baked goods that make them different from many Chinese bakeries. I find it rare for bakeries to have flan. In fact, this is my first time trying a flan outside and from a bakery, and it has a smooth texture and great flavor. Each cake is also beautifully made. If I must compare between cakes from Feida and those from Mugi, I'd choose Mugi for cakes. They are not too sweet and flavors are just right (tiramisu cake was the best for me). They are also very soft and fluffy. I notice some comments say that the prices are on the expensive side, but I find that they are reasonable considering that the food are well baked and have many different flavors. I would definitely come back to try more cakes and also their bread. read more

Needed respite for from the heat so came here. It was very quiet. The first thing I noticed on entrance were the cupcakes! first asian bakery I have seen to be carrying cupcakes I wasnt in the mood for them so we got an egg custard thing that was too hard and not fresh at all. I also got the passion fruit slush which was really good but the coconut one was just ice and water. Bottom line- nothing special, will only coming for drinks and just maybe the cupcakes read more

I went here three times in the same day. LOL! This is a trendy place that is a cut above the average Asian bakery. They have a wide variety of pastries and sandwiches that are quite beautifully prepared. I had the breakfast sandwich of sausage, egg and cheese in the morning. I went back to buy $15 dollars worth of delectable looking pastries. I then went back at lunch time to have their version of a Cuban sandwich (good, but it needed a little mustard) with bubble tea. The prices are slightly higher that the traditional Asian bakery but it is still inexpensive. I like to go here every time I am in the area. read more

I went here a couple of months ago and I'm not sure if it's the food or how they make it, but each time I went I always got a stomachache. The first time this happened, I thought it was a fluke, but when it happened the 2nd time I reconsidered it. The interior looks great, but the food is a no go for me. read more

A ripoff!! Their fish sandwich is $3 which is fifty cents more than FayDa but in one of two sandwiches I purchased, there was a piece of fish the the size of one finger. One finger!! In FayDa, they give you whole fish pieces and lots of lettuce! This was disappointing. Don't order their fish sandwiches!! read more

Edit: get the wifey cakes!!!!!!!!! Another new bakery in Flushing that is nice and clean. They serve baked goods from pudding to cake to bread. The bread is similar to all other breads at regular bakeries. The cakes (whole and sliced) are very pretty and nicely decorated. They serve drinks that range from lattes to coffee to tea. I got the pudding one time, which was overly sweet. It comes in a small plastic container which is cute. The chocolate mousse cake was pretty good if you like mousse. My sister loved it, but I thought it was too sweet. Overall this bakery is okay in terms of food, but the décor is very clean and neat! read more

It's clean, well-lit, and fancy looking. I like how they decorated all the cakes and pastries. Also, the signs are both in English and Chinese. =) I just wish they had more seats so I could bring more friends here. I tried the tiramisu and it was light and fluffy with a cute decoration that said "Coffee Time" and another wrapper that said "Special Handmade Cake". (^ . ^)b read more

Had the coconut raisin bun, dough was excellent. Sweet , but not overly sweet. Also had the iced almond millk tea-creamy and refreshing. Would recommend. Small walk from Flushing medical-but worth it. read more

The pastries and breads at Mugi look good, but aren't great(texture and taste-wise). The baked goods here are slightly more expensive compared to other Chinese bakeries in the area. The only thing I occasionally get here is the multi-grain loaf of bread, because I question the freshness of the pastries in the display. What's funny is that while I was looking at the breads, I saw factory-processed pre-packaged bags of sliced pound cakes that are typically sold at delis. wtf? I thought this was a bakery that produces freshly baked goods. read more

So I called the manager there a day after I went to the bakery and explained to her what had happened to me on that day. The manager apologized and said all the more experienced front desk were out that afternoon which means there was no supervisor there. And, all the employees working there that afternoon were just young kids. That's ok with me as long as the manager understand my point as a customer and I felt much better after talking to the manager. I was actually thinking about giving it a chance. But...GUESS WHAT HAPPENED AGAIN?!! I got a message from this so called MICK Y from yelp and he said I am extremely ignorant and snobbish. I am very upset by that so here's my response to him: I don't know who you are and had never talked to you. You have no right to say that. I was very polite in the beginning until that girl gave me attitude at the end and that's not the way to run your business. If you were in my position what how would you feel and what would you say? You better keep your mouth professional. Or, I guess you are just a kid still. You are probably that girl's bf or a friend and just heard one side of the story. Anyway, I have already talked to the manager and explained my side of the story and you can just stay immature the way you are if you want to. The manager was very polite and you can ask her if I sound snobbish and ignorant. Think about what you are going to say before you say it out loud and don't make a fool of yourself. Be an educated grown up. I don't know if he works there too or just wanna talk for his friend. But people who know me would say I am so far from being snobbish and ignorant. I don't know what his comment is based on...maybe just according to his friend. If you really go there and see that girl there....you will know what I mean! So go check it out to see for yourself!! Oh and I forgot to mention...in the beginning I went to the register to check out...she was just standing there and staring at me like what are you doing here with a straight face! I mean...hello!! I didn't brought a whole bunch of bread up there to the register for you to stare at!! I really don't know what she is doing!! Maybe she thinks she's not there to work!! Last note to Mick Y, I saw your review for Tai Pan Bakery which I think is very unprofessional of you. And, reading your review on Mugi, I am pretty sure you work there. I don't think I am being unreasonable. If you really have anything more to say to my comments, I have no problem sitting down face to face to talk it all over with you, your coworker, and your supervisors. Then we will really see who's the ignorant one! I gave them 2 stars this time purely because of the manager is being very professional about it and apologized for what her inferior had done. read more

Chinese bakery posing as Korean bakery. I ordered a yinyang (coffee + milk tea) and it's super watered down. It didn't come with a tea bag so it's going to stay gross and diluted. :( Should've taken my $1.50 to Dunkin Donuts across the street. Don't even want to come back to see if the cakes are any good. read more

This place was okay. I only had a mochi bun and a milk tea so I can't say much about all the fancy looking desserts. The milk tea was ok. The mochi bun was pretty good. So why the three stars? Well the girls behind the counter really did come off as bitchy. No greeting, no smile, and when I politely smiled and said 'thank you' after getting my tea I was met with a flat stare and no response. The workers looked freakin miserable! Do they beat them or something!? read more

THIS PLACE IS HORRENDOUS! Old stale food, dirty utensils, and a staff of complete imbeciles. Just today they refused to put cream in my green tea. Then after arguing with them to put cream in my damn tea, they refused to take a $10 bill because the corner was missing! Totally illegal by the way. I've been coming to Mugi for years but after this experience NEVER AGAIN! There's 3 other places to get coffee on this block alone! read more

I can see the potential, but it's one of those paris baguette blah blah upscal-ish chain bakeries.
